Hey everyone,

I’m almost 16, an O’Levels student. I’ve always been a bright, high achieving student but a few years ago everything changed. I switched schools and joined a big, well known institution that claimed to provide quality education. But the reality was different. The entire system revolved around business, and students relied on academies instead of actual classroom learning. I was new to O’Levels, trying my best to adapt, but I just couldn’t fit in.

I used to write complaints to the headmistress about teachers skipping classes, about the blatant cheating in exams, but nothing ever changed. During this time, I also lost one of my dearest friends, and that loss shattered me in ways I couldn’t put into words. Eventually, I just stopped going to school. And that’s where my downfall began.

During this time, I built a strong profile. I started earning, took on side hustles, did social work, won international competitions, became a board member of several organizations, and even launched my own charity. On the outside, it looked like I was thriving. But inside? I was lost

Studying became impossible. O’Levels was new to me, and I had no guidance. Every time I tried to sit down and study, I felt overwhelmed, hopeless. I kept telling myself, things will get better, I’ll catch up. But I never did.

I paid my exam fees twice from my own pocket. That’s nearly half a million. But when the time came, I couldn’t bring myself to go to my CIE exams. The fear of failure, the pressure, the FOMO, it paralyzed me. And today, once again, I’ve paid for my exams. My last chance. 80 days left. And I have studied nothing.

Every time I try, I get migraines, I break down, I hear voices in my head telling me I can’t do it. I can't sleep at night, have lost 9 kg weight in the last 15 days alone. My classmates have already moved on to the next classes, and I feel like I’m stuck in a nightmare I can’t escape. Even as I type this, I’m in tears.

I need 8 As*. Not just for myself, but because if I don’t, my dream college, my shot at the Ivy League, it all disappears. People see my CV and think I have it all together. A business, a charity, awards, international recognition. But this? This is the one thing holding me back. And I don’t know how to fix it.

My family doesn’t know what I’ve been going through. They don’t even know I pay my own school fees, my own expenses. For three years, I’ve been independent, making sure they never have to worry about me. But if they ever found out the truth that I’ve been failing myself over and over again I don’t think I could bear the shame.

Right now, I’m at the edge. I don’t know what to do. I feel like giving up.

I need guidance. A mentor. An angel or some ray of hope. Someone who has been through O’Levels and understands this pressure. Someone who can help me figure out how to navigate these 80 days before it’s too late.

I’m based in Peshawar/Islamabad, and if there’s anyone out there who can help, I promise I will be forever grateful. This isn’t just about grades anymore, it’s about saving myself.

Guys I recently came across a few instagram posts where there were posts regarding different young people labelled as youth mpas. I wanna know more about it! What exactly is it? How can one join? What’s the benefit? Would appreciate if someone who knows this stuff in depth could explain all details to me.

Hey you all! My friend, who’s also a pathan like me sent me this reel (attaching link below). I just liked it and left it on seen as I do not understand pushto even though I’m a pathan but all my life I’ve been brought up in a non-pushto environment and if I would’ve said this to them, I’m sure they would’ve minded that. Could someone please give me a translation of it in urdu and english? Reel: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS67E72h8/

What's the best barber for people with curly hair in Peshawar. (6 ft with a civic and dalla btw)

Hi. It's my and my wife's wedding anniversary in a few days, and I would like to take her to a good place for dinner. I'm thinking of the new Shiraz in Abdara Road. Do you guys have any suggestions?

What would be a good place for dinner for a couple?

I see most of the students and young ones will make a line to board the bus and the masharan would sit on the nearby benches but when bus appears all of a sudden they would march towards the door ignoring the line behind.Even knowing that we will offer the seat if they ended up standing. And of course no one says anything to them considering they ll be the one to be labelled as rude and disrespectful.

When a honour killing is reported in Pakistan, India and Afghanistan I hate it how western media spreads the news so quickly just because a bunch of Brown men killed a woman because she had an affair or she was sexually harassed and raped. But what really makes me laugh and the hypocrisy from western media is that even women in Europe are also murdered by their husband, brothers and boyfriends but unfortunately that isn't considered as an "honour killing" but classed as murder. Even in Medieval Europe, Middle Ages, Roman Empire and the Greek Empire, women were considered as "demons", "witches", "inferior" and that if a woman back in those days were raped, sexually harassed, committed adultery or witchcraft, then she is immediately executed, murdered by husband or brothers or burnt to death on the stake. For example King Henry VIII had six wives and Henry VIII was known as a stubborn, arrogant and even had multiple mistresses and affairs with maidens and peasants basically he was a womanizer. His second wife Anne Boleyn was accused of committing adultery, witchcraft, incest and conspiracy against the king. Anne Boleyn was eventually charged and was sentenced execution and was ordered by the King her husband even though her husband was the one who had so many affairs behind his wives backs.

Also It was common throughout Medieval Europe for men to murder their wives because they suspected infidelity and to kill their daughters because they eloped. It was also common for brothers to kill their sisters because they refused to marry the man their family had chosen for them.

Also the Church in the Medieval period and Middle Ages played a huge role especially for women because they believed that women were considered "naive", "demons" and even "smart and wise women" were considered as sorceresses by the church in Europe and were killed, burned or locked in hospitals for the "mentally ill"

So how on Earth is this all stemmed down to being "South Asian" when literally Honour Killings existed throughout history even in Europe.

Can anyone suggest me jobs for school teacher in the region of Regi Model Town/Dha/Nasir Bagh Road please guide me.

My mother's birthday is coming up and I want to buy her a recliner chair as a gift however I don't know where I can find some in Peshawar. I know a few shops in Islamabad but my current ward is a bit hectic and I wont be able to travel far. Does anyone have any idea where I can find one in Peshawar and of good quality as well? A manual one would be fine but electric would be much prefered.

I have been using the BRT service to travel between Hayatabad and Town stops. I've noticed that a significant number of Afghan nationals are utilizing this service, which often leads to overcrowding and limited space on buses, particularly on the Arbab Road to Hayatabad and Karkhano Market route. This overcrowding makes it difficult for elderly passengers, women, and other individuals to board and disembark at stations. To address this issue, the authorities could consider increasing the frequency of buses or implementing measures to limit the number of passengers allowed on each bus

I've watched too many documentaries on this topic that how boys are sexually harrased all over Pakistan but no matter which documentory reels or whatsoever I've watched regarding this, everyone mentions peshawar and pathans (I'm not being racist just asking a question).

So how true this really is I know this happens all over pakistan but is it really that common in peshawar. The documentory I watched mentioned a teen boy who ran from house and than he used his body to earn his living iykwim and he told how bus terminals etc are used for this purpose and how there are literal cinemas which feature p*rn in this city where people are doing such explicit acts inside theaters .

I studied in a school where most guys were pathans and despite of them being religious they were involved in such acts. This reminds me of the question that a girl asked from Dr zakir naik.

So how correct is this generalization regarding pakhtoon populated cities and if it's not than why it's mostly associated with them.

I'm from Mardan and would like to know if I can get a futsal ball (size 4 with lesser bounce than a regular size 5 football) in Peshawar?

Had a chance to visit Jani cone after ages and Im disappointed ! I was craving that nostalgic taste and quality but no :(

Hi everyone! I’m an Australian-Pakistani (male, 35) visiting Peshawar after 12 years, and I’d love to reconnect with the city. What are some must-visit places, food spots, or hidden gems I should explore? I’m especially interested in cultural experiences, local festivals (melas?), historical sites, and, of course, great food! Appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

Peshawar has been growing and growing well, but from the last 2 years has anyone felt a downwards trajectory?

The aspect of education, the aspect of safety, the aspect of trauma, the aspect of security, everything is going in a downwards trend?

I mean in a city when things are conduscive, people use their own resources whether it's even kindness to fuel a coherent feeling of safety and change yet we've never had it.
